Hersh: Israeli Mossad Operating in Iraq, Iran & Syria
Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has revealed in the pages of the New Yorker that hundreds of Israeli agents, including members of Mossad, are now operating in the Kurdish areas of northern Iraq. In addition Mossad is now conducting covert operations in Kurdish areas of Iran and Syria. One former Israeli intelligence officer told Hersh “It’s Realpolitik. By aligning with the Kurds Israel gains eyes and ears in Iran, Iraq and Syria.” In other news from northern Iraq, the New York Times is reporting mass numbers of Kurds are ignoring US orders and reclaiming land in the area that had been seized by Iraqi Arabs during Saddam Hussein’s reign.
